Goodnow House State Historic Site
  A
visit to the Goodnow House is more than a glimpse into domestic life in
the 1800s, it tells the story of freestaters who wanted organized and
equal education for the boys and girls of Kansas. Isaac Goodnow, one of
Manhattan’s founders, and his wife, Ellen, both pictured at left, built
this unique stone farmhouse, which still holds many original furnishings
and documents. Isaac started the Kansas State Teachers Association and
established the college that became Kansas State University. Learn more
about the Goodnows, the people of the free-state movement, and their stories
when you visit this native stone residence and barn.
